The long wait is over. The Lucid Air sedan will finally get an upgrade for its infotainment system. Lucid Motors confirmed yesterday that it will integrate Android Auto support. The company will deliver this integration via an OTA update this fall.

This Android Auto integration is a relief for some Lucid Air Sedan owners. Some of them have made their way to access Android Auto. With this integration, Lucid will now enhance user experience.

Android Auto Support for Lucid Air

In the auto business, electric vehicles are the way of the future. An increasing number of automakers are following suit and funding the development of EVs. While they produce a new model, they also upgrade the existing ones.

A major update is on the way for Lucid Air, the flagship sedan from the well-known luxury electric car maker based in California, according to a recent report from Android Police. Nick Twork, the company's newly appointed head of communications, broke the news.

This sedan, currently the sole offering from Lucid, gained compatibility with Apple CarPlay through a software update in March of the preceding year. Looking ahead, Lucid's upcoming Lucid Gravity SUV, anticipated for release by the close of 2024, is expected to debut compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto right from its launch.

The Lucid Air is a premium vehicle. The cheapest model begins at $70,000. The price can surge up to $ 300,000. Considering its price range, the absence of Android Auto support in Lucid Air is surprising. Others may find this lack unattractive for such a premium vehicle.

In contrast to some electric vehicle (EV) competitors such as Tesla and Rivian, who have chosen to develop their closed operating systems, Lucid is taking a different approach by embracing widely used smartphone integration platforms.

Renowned for its elegant aesthetics and exceptional driving range, the Lucid Air initially catered to Apple enthusiasts with its Apple CarPlay support. Exciting news for Android users awaits this fall, as an innovative over-the-air (OTA) update is set to introduce Android Auto compatibility to the Lucid Air's impressive 34-inch 5K panoramic display screen.

Thus, it ensures a seamless and inclusive driving experience for all users.

By leveraging these advanced platforms, drivers can experience a heightened sense of accessibility and ease while staying focused on the road ahead.
